Re: Thinking about money stops me moving up?

but in real life money i feel sick losing that much.
Is this a problem for anyone else?

This is only a problem for the 99% of poker players who are not sociopaths. (only kidding slightly) Read The Poker Mindset. Maybe a stop/loss control would assist you for a while. But mostly play more and more and more and more.....
Understand the Law of Large numbers, or whatever it's called. Make yourself play 100 hours at .50/1.00. Graph it. After a while, as long as skill is fairly constant, luck becomes a negligible factor. You will KNOW that any loss is just something that's a dip in a game that never really ends no matter how many levels or tables or venues you change.
Sounds like you're on the cusp of a huge breakthrough - ride the wave. It really is OK to make enormous piles of money playing poker.
